Answer:
Waterfalls are made when a layer of harder rock overlays on a layer of softer rocks. As the river passes over the softer rocks it erodes faster, forming a step. Hydraulic action erodes and makes the plunge pool and notch bigger.

Answer:
waterfalls form as streams flow from soft rock to hard rock. This happens both laterally (as a stream flows across the earth) and vertically (as the stream drops in a waterfall). In both cases, the soft rock erodes, leaving a hard ledge over which the stream falls.
